A/N: Have to start the warning that soon we will head towards some massive angst for a few chapters. Just so you are early warned.

After their date a few days back Derek had taken Penelope on several more. Always something else in different parts of the town. Half the things he took her to usually wouldn't get him excited or interested to begin with, but with Penelope it all seemed different. He liked spending time with her and it didn't matter whether they were going out for food, to some museum or other stuff he usually wouldn't do. With her all that mattered was that she was with him.

By the end of their second date he initiated a kiss, feeling like it would be the right time. Still kind of wrong in regards of boyfriend-issues, but right as well, since they had great dates, a wonderful time and Penelope seemed to beam at him more and more with every date they went on. It almost felt as if the love she had for him and with which she looked at him grew with every new date. They still hadn't gone that final step yet, and despite Penelope seeming to push for more and more by now he always managed to keep her down, get his way out of the situation and wait it out longer. He just didn't know how much longer he could wait, could keep his hands off her. By now he was really aching for that moment of union, for her being his entirely, for hearing her moaning his name in the moment of pure bliss and ecstasy, but he still didn't think the right moment was here. It was a thought that amused Derek to no end.

Usually he never waited for right moments. He had lost count of the girls he had a long time ago, not that it mattered to begin with. But with Penelope, things were definitely different. So he would wait. Until he felt the right time came.

JJ and Emily had stopped by Penelope's office earlier today making sure their lunch date was still on. The first few lunches were basically used for the two women to make sure their friend really was okay. Of course they couldn't ask her the obvious question without seeming suspicious, but they at least could study her behavior.

By now, a good two weeks after the initial accident they were certain that apart from the screwed up part of her brain Penelope was absolutely okay, just like she had always been. Usually the women would go out for some lunch, trying out restaurants and dinners around the office, but today they opted for the FBI canteen instead, mainly due to Penelope having to run some system checks and therefore having not the usual hour they mostly had.

They had just been talking about how quiet it lately had been and that the team was just stuck with paperwork, when both JJ and Emily noticed that Penelope kept looking at something or someone behind them.

"Are you okay?" JJ wondered, knowing that Morgan was out with Reid, so it couldn't be him Penelope was looking at all the time.

"Why is that guy always looking at me like that?" Penelope asked her friends, at which both JJ and Emily turned around and looked at who she could talk about.

"Who? Lynch?" JJ asked, noticing the only guy looking in their direction was Kevin.

"Yeah. What's the deal with him?" Penelope asked curiously.

"He … um … has this crush on you. Since … years," JJ lied, knowing there was no better explanation.

"He does?" Penelope asked surprised. "How come I never knew that?"

"Um … I just heard about it yesterday. Maybe it just didn't travel to you yet…" Emily started, seeing JJ's relieved expression that someone was there to back her up. All of a sudden Penelope got up, making both her friends wonder.

"Where are you going?" Emily asked surprised, looking at JJ.

"Catching up on the rumors. I usually know everything about everyone in this building, how could I have not known about that guy?" Penelope wondered, making Emily and JJ raise their eyebrows.

"Is he an … um ... an option?" JJ asked carefully, seeing Penelope turn around quickly, facing her friend.

"An option?" she asked shocked. "You have seen my boyfriend, right? The Greek Adonis kind of guy, who puts probably all my ex-boyfriends to shame just by the way he looks. That doesn't even include all the other very satisfying qualities he has to offer," she smiled at her friends.

"You slept with Morgan?" Emily asked surprised, wanting to kick herself just a moment later for her stupid question.

Penelope looked at Emily quizzically for a moment. "Of course I have slept with him. I mean, he is my boyfriend after all. It would be kind of weird if we had been dating all this time but never slept with each other by now, don't you think?"

Emily just looked at Penelope, not sure how to answer that. "Um … yeah, I guess so," she finally admitted, seeing Penelope look at her strangely for a moment, before turning and leaving.

"When she says 'sleeping' does that mean they really slept with each other, or that she thinks they did?" Emily asked, JJ, who just shrugged.

"Your guess is as good as mine here. With these two anything is possible. Who knows, maybe they already slept with each other before this whole thing happened."

"No way, Penelope was seeing Lynch before that. There is no way she would have done that to Kevin," Emily disagreed.

"Anyway, I really hope she will soon remember again who she dated. Because this whole charade is really tiring after a while," JJ admitted, making Emily look at her in disagreement.

"I hope not. The longer she thinks Morgan is her boyfriend, the longer we don't have to hang out with Lynch. I mean, I feel sorry about this all, but seriously, the longer I don't have to deal with Lynch the better."

"Emily, at some point she will remember again. What do you think will happen when that day comes in like half a year, when everyone made her believe she really is dating Derek Morgan? She would hate probably everyone for the rest of their lives for not telling her."

"Oh, when that day comes I am so rooting for 'Team Morgan', trust me."

"There are no teams," JJ remarked confused, seeing Emily smile.

"There are now."
